Hello, friends. I know, I know. It’s been a while since last we talked. Granted, that was only… what… four posts ago? But that was back in June four months ago. I’m garbage at this whole writing thing, eh? The silence isn’t from apathy, I promise. I’ve just been brainstorming how to implement this new website format I spoke of so many moons ago.… Read more...

Hey, everyone! I hope all is well in your respective necks of the woods. I know it’s been a while since you’ve last heard from me but fret not, I’m still alive. If you haven’t noticed already, there’s been some content category changes on the main page and it’s that very topic I’d like to talk to you today.… Read more...

Hello again, friends. I hope you’ve been doing well since last we spoke. As I alluded to in my latest “What’s Metzge Playing” segment, I’ve been MIA focusing on my big boy job. Though I’ve still be working on writing, I find myself researching more about logistics, sustainability, and ecommerce than I do about video games — not that I’m necessarily complaining, but I’m sure you’ve been wondering where I’ve been.… Read more...

Good tidings upon you, friends. I know it’s been a while since I’ve last written directly to you all so I figured I’d break the fourth wall for a bit and say hullo.
Hullo! 😀
Now that that’s out of the way, with this being a brand new month, it makes for yet another fresh slate.… Read more...

Since our relaunch a few months ago, there’s been a lot to do: imported articles to reformat and fix; plugins to troubleshoot; design adjustments needing to be made; making goals for the coming year. While sifting through some of those old articles waiting to be republished, I stumbled upon my very first post almost three years ago.… Read more...

// ]]>This isn’t the first time I’ve written about new beginnings. Over the course of the past two years and some change, we’ve had a few “relaunches” that usually amounted to some minor changes in layout or a new color scheme and logo. And while these changes have been important in developing our brand, I think it’s this next chapter that shall be the most exciting yet, solidifying our place within the writing corner of the gaming industry.…...

If you couldn’t figure out already, we at Start 2 Continue are believers in constant improvement. Since our launch back in June of 2013, our little corner of the web has transformed already a handful of times. Heck, even now, our color palette is different from what it was yesterday (and we hope you like it–we’re actually kinda partial to the red-yellow-black scheme we got going on now).… Read more...

In the wake of #GamerGate, I was honestly kind of torn. I had to think long and hard about whether or not I felt like I was contributing something worthwhile to the journalism side of the video game industry–and by worthwhile, I mean valuable. With a lot of the ethical questions arising within the industry as DLC, Early Access, and day-after-launch patches become more and more commonplace, upon reflection I felt that the way we talk about games might have to change.… Read more...

Welcome to Start 2 Continue, a new website dedicated to reporting on the video game industry, though with a bit of a twist. Sure, we’ll have your reviews, previews, and gaming news, but we have a soft spot for writing on gamer culture, indie developers, and consumer and industry ethics. We’ll keep you in the know on the goings on, from new products and companies to mergers and bankruptcies, to the latest DRM dispute.… Read more...
